About This Home

As of November 2021

This turn-of-the-century Queen Anne Victorian is a true North Shore gem, impeccably maintained and updated by the same owner for nearly three decades. From the moment you step into the grand foyer, from its striking stained glass to the gold room with coffered ceilings, you'll be part of a storied tradition. Hardwood floors, original pocket doors, built-ins, and cedar closets throughout make this home truly special. Eat-in kitchen with granite countertops flows into formal dining room with soapstone fireplace, Butler's pantry, dental crown moldings and William Morris wallpaper. Second floor boasts great room with frescoed cathedral ceiling. Third floor au pair or teen suite top it all off. Enjoy stunning gardens and sweeping lawns from the wrap-around porch, or take them in through the all-new Anderson windows. Brand new garage, off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Walk to beaches, shops and restaurants, and nearby Stanley School.
